A wide array of lectures, programs and events are held year round in four sessions: winter, spring, summer and fall. There are no entrance requirements, no tests and no grades. Our dynamic instructors are Long Island University faculty as well as recognized thought leaders and experts from the local and national community. The Hutton House Lectures are held in a newly renovated Georgian mansion, constructed in 1927, that is the former home of financier W.E. Hutton II and his wife Joan Chapin. Location: Unless otherwise noted, all classes are held in Lorber Hall on LIU Post’s south campus. Use the east gate entrance on Northern Boulevard (Route 25A) in Brookville. Take Gold Coast Road and follow the Lorber Hall signs and you will arrive at Lorber Hall. Larger lectures are held in Krasnoff Theater in Hillwood Commons.

Registration is available online at: https://webapps.liu.edu/huttonhouse Non-Refundable Course Registration Policy: We pride ourselves on providing quality programs at a modest cost and excellent customer service.

  • 2006 Progress Report
    The mission of the Prostate Cancer Foundation is to find better treatments and a cure for recurrent prostate cancer. 2006 Progress Report 1 As the Prostate Cancer Foundation nears its 15th year of seeking better treatments and an eventual cure for prostate cancer, we pledge to you – trusted partners, directors, donors, friends, survivors and families – that we will not rest until we accomplish the goal of ending death and suffering from prostate cancer. We’re accelerating our timetable, harnessing every available resource and delivering needed funds to investigators on the brink of finding new discoveries to benefit men and their families. Since 1993, generous donors like you have provided the means for the PCF to fund more than 1,400 investigators. We’ve received nearly 6,000 applications for our Competitive Awards Program that were submitted from scientific investigators at leading medical institutions in 43 countries. These investigators are on the frontline of research, working in concert to streamline their research approach and share best practices. And each year we bring together the world’s finest prostate cancer experts to collaborate on ideas, educate each other and energize the research field during the PCF Scientific Retreat. All this activity is focused on the fact that one in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, the most-diagnosed non-skin cancer in the United States. In 2006 alone, more than 234,000 men received the unfortunate news. But there is cause for hope. When the PCF began in 1993, there were seven approved drugs for prostate cancer – today there are 13.
